Please note that the offer of a school place is conditional until proof of address has been confirmed by the school. Original copies of the following will be required:

Respond to your offer of a school place

If you wish to accept your child's offer of a school place you do not need to inform us. Your offer will be automatically accepted and forwarded to the allocated school after 2 May 2012.

If you are rejecting your child's offer of a school place, you must complete the slip attached to your offer letter and return it to Southwark Council's school admissions team by 2 May 2012 so that other children may be offered the place. You must also inform us in writing of any other alternative suitable arrangement for education that has been made for your child.

Failure to notify us of an alternative arrangement for your child's education by 2 May 2012 will result in your child's name being forwarded to the school that has been offered/allocated in their offer letter.
